The Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) offers scholars and students a vibrant research and learning environment. We collect, preserve, and provide access to materials that document the history of our global society, including original manuscripts, photographs, architectural renderings, industrial design prototypes, graphic artworks, audio and moving image recordings, and much more. Today, the SCRC’s collections total approximately 150,000 printed items and over 30,000 linear feet of archival material in 2,400 separate collections, as well as the holdings of the renowned Belfer Audio Archive and the University Archives. Together, these collections offer unfiltered access to primary source material, the “authentic voice” of a writer or creator, from which scholars and students can develop their own views and create their own narratives.
The 1959 Championship Football Team Collection contains print materials and memorabilia related to Syracuse University's championship team and the 1960 Cotton Bowl.
Correspondence (family, art organizations and associations, educational institutions, galleries and museums, patrons, fellow artists), artwork, writings, memorabilia of the American realist painter.
